Why the catch can? Just curious.

I have had mine for like two days...... this thing works......

I opened it up from the top again to sort the hoses out the other day.

There was already a very small puddle in there.

I was thinking that maybe it was as a because of oil consumption. I know what they are for, but I never turn this heavy ol slug very high RPM. I have one on my camaro, it gets turned over 7200.

My avalanche started using oil, and at first, I thought it needed a catch can. I have hp tuners so I turned the Dod off. That did nothing. I replaced the valve cover and all the oil consumption has gone away. The non-serviceable PCV was clogged.

Yes I do. They did the upper engine cleaner and put the shields in under warranty but never did anything with the valve cover. I bought the revised design. I left the DOD off, its hurt it MPG about 1-2 mpg. Wasn't a big deal to me.
